Predict the scores of matches from all the rounds and get points on how
close you were to the correct score.
Making Predictions
Each tournament you must predict the score of WTA matches for that
tournament. Based on the size of the WTA Draw, you will have to pick so
many from each round. Now, the only predictions that you ABSOLUTELY
MUST MAKE are from the first round. After the first round, you may make as
few, or the maximum number in each round. So, if you forget to do round 2,
you're not out, just make some for the QF's or SF's or etc.

NUMBER OF PREDICTIONS:

64 Player Draw:
1st Round: YOU MUST MAKE 9 PREDICTIONS
2nd Round: You CANNOT make more than 7 predictions
3rd Round: You CANNOT make more than 5 predictions
Quarterfinal: You CANNOT make more than 3 predictions
Semifinal: You CANNOT make more than 2 predictions
Final: 1 Prediction

SCORING POINTS

Now, for the points. For each match you predict, you will get points based on
how accurately you predict the match. Here is a list of all the points you can get:

After each round I will update the standings with the points you
receive for your picks. At the end of the tournament, you will receive ranking
points based on where you are in the rankings. The ranking points you get will be based on the Ranking Points the WTA Players receive for the round they make.

The actual rankings will be calculated after each tournament, and will
be done like the WTA Rankings(except the fact that all tourneys you play in count). They will run on a 12 month system, and you will lose points exactly 12 months after you gain them if you do not defend them. This will help keep the game close and more realistic. There will also be Race Rankings, which will be accumulated from the first tournament up until the last tournament before the YEC. The top 8 will make the YEC. After the Year-End Championships, the points will reset and everyone will start the next year from 0.

No need to sign up, just make your first round picks to be eligible to play!! Good luck!!

a rolling entry list will be posted tomorrow afternoon with the rankings following cincy and continue to be editted until the first round is over, so anyone who wants to play may join as long as the 1r is not yet finished.

Do we have to make our first round picks before start of play on tomorrow.
And similarly 2nd round picks before any of second round starts or can they be done the next day of either 2nd or 1st round mtaches,

thanks

nope as long as there are more 1r matches to pick from you can go on ahead and do so, same with 2nd round

Thanks but the picks for the day have to be made before that days matches start right and cannot be made after the matches have started.

thanks

well you cant predict a match that has already started but if there are 6 matches scheduled for a day and the first three have already been played you can still predict the three that havent been played yet :)

Hantu515 and meelis13 both predicted the pennetta-raymond match perfectly!! Well done!
mapaliey and adachi both predicted the chakvetadze-kostanic match perfectly!! Good job!
Smokovec correctly predicted the Bondarenko-Cocoveghe match perfect! And Santhuruu predicted the Stosur-Dechy match exactly right!!
They all earned 35 points for their correct picks.

The standings in this round do not reflect where you really stand overall because many people have extra picks due to retirements of Peschke and withdrawal of Rubin. Some people who did really well in this round have two extra picks to make and should move up the standings if they use those picks wisely. Here is the list of people who have extra picks to make. If you already used them in round 2 I did not take them off this list yet, so you do not have another one that you did not know about.

Remember if you already used it i did not take it off this list, so do not use it again.

This round was full of upsets and I just wanted to give credit to those who avoided them.
Slokid went 8 for 9 in this round! :eek:
Adachi, hectormangus and luxxxas went 7 for 9 in this round!
416man went 7 for 8 in this round!
Smokovec went 6 for 7 in this round!

2nd round update will be tomorrow after all the matches are complete. Good luck and remember you can use your extra picks at anytime before the semifinals. :wavey:

*i can do that, right? I hate to, but i'm leaving now and probably won't be back on until after the matches are played. What i'm saying is whoever wins the Clijsters/Stosur match, i want my prediction to be that person beating Jankovic 6-2, 6-3

1 from Champion88 who predicted the Sharapova match perfect!
1 from Slokid who preidicted the Vaidisova match perfect!
2 from HectorMangus who predicted the Vaidisova and Sharapova matches perfect! This is also his first PTS tournament! :eek: :bigclap:

I will not be here all weekend so the only updates I can give will be on Sunday night after all is said and done. These rounds coming up are quick rounds and shouldnt be alot to update if anyone has free time and can do it. I dont think I<3Lindsay will be around to do it, but if he is maybe he can do it as well. Sorry about this all, See you next week!! :D

Ohh and remember to use your extra picks if you have not done so already!! The qf round is the last round to do so.
